im doing this with rosenborg my training facilites are now top and my youth will be state of the art in 3 months with my stadium beng upgraded to 30k aswell iv only got 1 good regen so far at the start of my 3rd season ][IMG he looks like a star in the making if i can improve his physicals.

I've been forced to start again, well I haven't been forced but the irregularity of the prize money on the Cyprus database made it impossible to enjoy the game, the money problem was one of the reasons I started there. Instead I am starting a new game in Slovakia with the option of going to Montenegro and/or Cyprus later on.

What do you mean by the irregularity of the prize money, Shandy? I was planning on doing this with APOEL.

I downloaded a database online. Finished first season in 2nd place and got 15m for it!

I'm into my third season, second set of youngsters and none look any good. I've got plenty of foreign players who look good but none at all are Greek, I'm Larisa by the way. This reflects in the number of players I have selected in the Greek national teams.

Full National Side - 0 PlayersUnder 21 Side - 0 PlayersUnder 19 Side - 0 Players

I'm also giving this a shot with quite an obscure country! I've gone with Icelandic champions Fimleikafélag Hajnarfjaroar (FH).

The squad is easily good enough to win the league in the first year, so I can start to integrate the youngsters whilst trying to make an impression on European trophies. There's a couple that have 4* potential from the start, so i'll be playing those and awaiting the first bunch of regens eagerly!

Now that I have a squad capable to achieve at Arsenal i'm going to try and incorporate in a root and branch by spending as little as possible on young English players and bring them through into the first team, whilst also spending money on the first team if need be.

Love shandy's idea of trying to get as many players as possible in the national teams of the nation so planning on using that update method as long as you don't mind?

Current England Players: 0

Current Eng U21 Players: 0

Current Eng U19 Players: 2

So as you can see with regards to the national team i'm starting from scratch, though how there's no Theo Walcott when he scored 50goals and won champions league and euro golden boot is beyond me.

Going to start this with Hibernian, going to try and never sign a player. LOL. Yeah I chose Scotland because I thought it would be a league in which I could get away with playing my youth, more then any other.

Not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed that I contributed to the original discussion back in 08. The original idea was to have a whole squad (or at least a first 11) from your own academy. I finally have a save set up that I feel I can begin to do this with. I have tried this in every game since then and never really succeeded because I used to do it from the off and want to turn all of my regens into first team players.

This time I did it differently. I built a world dominating team that was young enough to last me for the forseeable future. Invested in brilliant regens when young and relatively cheap to make sure my team doesn't dry out. Used these players to test run the best way to develop talent. Only now am I looking to concentrate on my academy talent. I realsie that to make this work you need to accept the players are not going to be the aboslute best players, but you can build your team to suit them and still compete at a high level.

That said the only breakthrough so far is this guy, and I certainly would not let him be here if it wasn't for him being from my academy.

Time to ressurect this thread, I've started with a fifth teir polish side (SMS Lodz) and they have well established recruitment and good junior coaching (which I have gotten upto exceptional) and currently I got promoted and i'm in the forth tier, if there is any interest I could post up my best regens

steakface, I have exactly the same problem, I'm in 2023 with Southampton and have a world class CB, a decent DMC, a decent LW and a decent ST from my academy. I've had about 6 strikers come through my academy who would be good enough for the first team if I developed them properly. The problem is I already have a striker form the academy in my first team and only play 1 up front. There's really no chance of me getting an entire team full of good regens from the academy. I have a couple that have just come through that I'm hopeful about but one of them is a striker and the other is a CB/DMC!!! By the time I have a regen for each position that is good enough the first regens I got will have retired...
